Will,

I know you are willing to take the blame for any and all problems with todays tourney. Not anything you did affected problems that arose as we endured this long day of wrestling.

I, as a Tournament Director, want to first "thank" all of our parent and kid volunteers (high school athletes included that did not have to spend their entire Saturday in a hot gym) for the effort they put forth today. Without your help we could not have watched over 200 "A" wrestlers compete against each other.

I also want to say "thank you" to the group of referees that we had, who worked above and beyond what was expected, (when 3 other referees did not show up).

Parents and fans of wrestlers - I know today was a tournament that lasted far longer than what we normally put forth at our facility and we will always try to improve from one year to the next!

Trackwrestling is a fantastic program that we used today and all problems we encountered with this system was quite honestly due to lack of resources at the school and a bit of inexperience in a live tourney using this program. The guys at Track will bend over backwards to work with you and were quite helpful with the setup of our tourney. I know many dont care to hear why the problems arose but want all to know it had nothing to do with Trackwrestling and the program they provide! Keep up the good work Trackwrestling.

Wrestlers - Although I did not get to see a lot of the competition today, due to the time spent trying to work around problems that arose throughout the day, I want to say we will always try to provide a tournament that gives you the opportunity to compete against some of the best competition in the entire area,(Kansas & Missouri combined).

George - I do want to personally apologize to you for being an absolute embarassment, as you so kindly put it. You are absolutely correct, at a point in time today I was a bit embarrassed, but realized that "whatever" it took, I had to continue my efforts of correcting problems as they arose.

To the lady who wrote the "To whom it may concern letter" that was given to our High School-Head Wrestling Coach. I personally did not get to see the letter, but if you would like to PM me or for that matter reply by US Mail - My name and address is listed on the documents that are on this USAWKS website.

Once again, Thank You to everyone that came today and I hope you were able to see some great competition!
